k stone.this from mar guest: i think tax expenditures is a big problem. there are tax revenues that we should be taking in which we are not because we are subsidizing a significant amount of what some have termed corporate welfare. billions of dollars to the oil and gas industry, they are making record profits. the tax expenditures are costing the american people in ways that are problematic. host: what would you cut the besides defense? guest: revenues that we have lost that would otherwise should take in. other than defense, there is waste and inefficiencies in a wide range of domestic spending programs. i am willing to take a look at almost everything. i think the demonization of social security and medicaid are inappropriate. they are not responsible for the deficit problem we have right now. ronald reagan in a debate with walter mondo and clear social security has nothing to do with the deficit. it was true then and it is true now. att in plano, texas. caller: thank you for taking my call. food stamps is not one of the areas that needs to be cut. it

number three, there's no new taxes. i would have hoped to have a little bit of entitlement reform but that apparently is too much to tackle. >> what do you think about the idea that democrats and republicans worked together on this? >> hallelujah. >> margaret is our next caller from seattle, washington, an independent. hi, what's your comment? >> i just wanted to congratulate ryan and murray for working together for something many of my democratic and republican friends all have as a major complaint. it's not discerning about the details. that's a really big disparity. a lot of us feel disenfranchised by the democrats because it's so sad to see the minority has ruled them instead of the majority of us who put them in place. so this is a really good thing for us. we're waiting for a few years. we kind of jumped off the democrat, went to independent, but there won't be an independent in the running it. will either be democrat or republican. so we're going to wait the next few years to see if they finish what they started,
